As I said before, it's a piece of cake to do it this way. We evidently have our browsers configured differently because I didn't find anything-fonts under View. And all I find under Settings -> "Configure Konqueror" -> "TT\nFonts" didn't seem to apply... . > > If you want to do it as per the handbook, you'd have to copy your font > files to an appropriate directory, which could look something like > this: > > # cp /media/cdrom/1/*.ttf /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType Yes, this CLI command did work. It's the same as I used on my Ubuntu server. For FBSD I had to use another command to correctly build the truetype font files for X. But works.

I have a slew of Postscript files that I ported for use with the free version of the Enscript port, but these should work almost the same way. cheers! gary > > Have a nice time. > > michael -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

As I said before, it's a piece of cake to do it this way. If you want to do it as per the handbook, you'd have to copy your font files to an appropriate directory, which could look something like this: # cp /media/cdrom/1/*.ttf /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType I'm not sure if I understood you question correctly, but either the man page for cp(1) might help or you ask again here.

I have in bookmarked in konq. I pointed the browser at the CDROM but there were too many files--hundred--and the browser choked. I'm not sure if I can do a CLI cp -rp from the disk, so I'm **trying** to figure out how to use these GUI tools. If you , or anyone else, would be so kind as too explain how to copy one file or multiple files or a directory and its subdirectories from (say) /media/cdrom/1 to /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType, I would be much obliged. Typing a single string in an xterm seems lots easier than doing it by file-manager. ... thanks, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can just use Konqueror to browse to your fonts and use the appropriate option in the context menu to install the selected fonts. If you want to do the font installation by hand, as you described, you have to make sure that X is aware of the directory where your font files reside and that the directory is properly prepared. This is best described in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-fonts.html I hope that helps. michael ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
